Difford's Fruit Cup No.2 (Scotch based) image

How to make:

POUR all ingredients into glass. Half fill glass with ice. Add a citrus slice and a couple of mint leaves from garnish before filling to brim with ice. Finish with rest of garnish.

Garnish:

Lemon, orange & strawberry slices, mint sprig & borage

Comment:

Perhaps Pimm’s chose the number ‘2’ for the Scotch whisky based version of their summer cup because it was the second best – Scotch is certainly one of the best base spirits in a fruit cup.

About:

Created in June 2017 by yours truly (Simon Difford) at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
